The Hidden Hero: ‘Muskrat’ in G.I. JOE – The Underrated Gem You Didn’t Know You Were Missing!”

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. The 1993 Battle Corp Muskrat is a figure I never hear anything on. This is actually a really cool version. I had the original Muskrat as a kid and I think everyone will agree he is awesome. Somehow I think the 1993 version slipped through the crack.

Now he was oddly changed from a jungle/swamp soldier to a heavy fire specialist but the figure itself had potential. There are some very bright orange that could be toned down and my favorite a removable helmet. The helmet has a bit of a weird but very interesting shape. Even if you don’t like the body, helmet, or spring loaded launcher this figure has a nice head.

One that can be swapped out with the original if you choose to do so. It just makes the original Muskrat a little more dynamic. Overall this is a cool figure and I may try and find a cheap figure to repaint and see how this figure would look with black where the orange is. Who had this figure as a kid or as their first Muskrat figure? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below! Make sure to check back for our next discussion.
